I have replaced all (struts/springs, inner/outer tie rods, sway bar bushings/end links, LCAs) the suspension components on my 2000 3.8 and the annoying "double clunk" sound is still there, more on R than L. I feel certain that it's the subframe welded bolt that has come unattached. While I know that it's safe to drive the sound really bugs me. I've seen wiswinds photos of the weld but am wondering if anyone has done this, how the procedure went, ...

Any ideas?

Those pictures on on the web are mine. It's not too hard of a project. Just pull the nut off of the radius rod and weld it with a wire feed. Weld it in short bursts letting it cool as not to have a fire or burn the rubber bushing.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask questions if I missed something or wasn't clear.

Here's a link to one of the pictures in Wiswind's photos: http://thumb10.webshots.net/t/20/20/3/78/61/2527378610011220610BgMIon_th.jpg (http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2527378610011220610BgMIon)
